(Pics from) The ABSOLUTELY LAST performance of "The Sickest F***ing Stories I Ever Heard".

Last Saturday was our ABSOLUTELY LAST performance of "The Sickest F***ing Stories I Ever Heard"* and we invited our storytellers to come out and share their favorite stories with our audience, sans table. It was them, alone, with their story and a microphone.

The best story, epic in it's telling and depravity, was Chris Meister's tour-de-force telling of the "Mexican Donkey's Show" story. It involved close friend, drugs, Mexican prostitutes, a donkey's show, baby laxative, a Mexican farmacia and a burned out car ride back across the Mexican-American border. It was absolutely incredible. So much so, that we let him run long with it, just to hear how it ended. (Sadly, that meant that we had to cut two storytellers at the end of the show, Alan and J.Ben, but they were cool about it and it was an epic story.)

Here's Chris, looking dapper, and regaling us with his incredible story...

This guy looked pretty good too...

You can see all of the pics from the show here. Lisa's costume is not to be missed.

The whole show was a hit. And as you could probably guess, it was not the "ABSOLUTELY FINAL" performance of the show. It was actually the "ABSOLUTELY FINAL" performance (of 2008). As host of the show, it was my pleasure to give the audience context for each storyteller. (ie, the titles of other stories that they told or the cast that they played in). It really gave me a nice context for the show. We've been running it for over a year now and we've had some wild stories told and some crazy shit happening onstage (trick-shooting with my exterminators b.b. gun, for example). Fuzzy, Greg and I are looking ahead at 2009 and figuring out cool ways to add to what we've already done and make 2009 an exciting year for the show, too. I can't wait to see what the new year brings us!

Cheers,
